Answer:

The pH will be very High.

Explanation:

The electron chain is responsible for generating the Proton Motive Force, which pumps H+ (protons) into the inter membrane space, to lower the pH.Therefore if Cyanide inhibits the ETC, the PMF will be stopped.

Hydrogen ions will not be pumped into the inter-membrane space,to lower the pH  of the medium for increase acidity. Hence, electrochemical gradient from the diffusion of H+ back into the matrix will not  be generated,

Energy for ATP synthesis by ATPase Enzyme will not be produced. Therefore ATP synthesis will stop.

Explanation:

Living organisms are composed of four levels of organization; the cell, tissues, organs and organ systems.

The cell is the basic unit of life  and the smallest level of organization.

Tissues are group of cells with a common origin which work together to perform a similar function.

Organs are composed of different types of tissues and perform various complex functions. in the organism.

Organ systems are groups of organs that perform similar functions or which work together for a specific function.

A plant leaf is an organ which is made up of various tissues such as the dermal, vascular and ground tissues.

The dermal cells known as the epidermis belong to the tissue level of organization as they perform a similar function of protecting against mechanical injury and invasion by microorganisms
